There is no one line in Siri Guru Granth Sahib that will say to eat meat or not eat meat. However, if you follow the dietary guidelines of the Guru's Langar...you will never find meat fish or eggs being served.

If you would like some scientific and tecnological reasons for why we do not eat meat, do a search on the youth forum for the word "meat".
